Redbook Abstract
Using the Applications Management Specification in a TMA Environment, SG24-4809-00
  Abstract
This redbook provides an overview of Tivoli's applications management strategy and Applications Management Specification (AMS). It also provides details on creating AMS-enabled applications using Tivoli's Developer Kit, and how to manage these applications using Tivoli's applications management workgroup solution, Tivoli Manager for Applications, Version 2.0 (TMA).

This redbook will provide guidance to application developers who need to create management-ready applications using the applications management specification. Guidelines are provided that will assist an application developer in building applications to be managed in a Tivoli-based environment. This redbook also steps through two examples of utilizing the Tivoli Developer Kit to create an AMS-enabled application. The first example will detail how to enable an "out of the box" application, and the second will show how to enable a PowerBuilder application, making us of the PowerBuilder integration points with the Developer Kit.

This redbook is also intended to help the system administrator install and configure the Tivoli Manager for Applications environment, as well a manage AMS-enabled applications. Included is the installation and configuration of Oracle, one of the supported databases required for viewing events with TMA. The full life cycle management of an AMS-enabled application is also shown, including configuring the imported application, distributing the application to targets, monitoring and administering the distributed application, and removing the application from the targets.
